Here’s the Photo of the Day.
Like it or not? I’d love to know, and it would be good for everyone if you told me why.
[BTW, this image is from our “OGI” file. What’s that? Well…when Scott and I are editing photos after a shoot, combing through thousands to find the select few that see the light of day, we employ a practice that I can’t recommend highly enough. That practice is to put those surprise images–the unexpected happy accidents that have merit, but maybe aren’t relevant to the job we’re editing–into a file of their own with other like-minded (bizarre, unique, etc) images. We call that file “Otherwise Gifted Images”. That’s sort of what I meant by the title of this post. It’s got a double meaning… in one sense, like this image or not, the practice of saving random, unexpected stuff to a common file, or tagging it a certain way, is a good practice. In another sense, I do want to know if you like this photo or not. I’m bias, but I love it. In fact, I took a spin through that whole file last night and fell in love all over again with about 40 photos.. I’ll be sharing more of them over time.]
I personally don’t like it. It bothers me when faces/heads are distorted. The fact that the image is split in two I find my eyes fighting to focus, and it actually gives me a headache.
I like it – changing the colour and orientation completely transforms the image.
Would be interesting to take out the background and simplify the image even further but also making it harder to read.
Thanks for posting Chase! I like it. Portrait works for me here because the right side (lighter) pulled me in with some degree of force and then pushed me under the water to the (darker) side. He facial expression remains a mystery in a fascinating form.
like it cuz it makes you look longer than a few secs. fun work
Did he slice the camera into two ?
